What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can design scalable backend systems, collaborate with product teams, improve system performance and developer experience, and drive reliable delivery.

I am a Golang specialist with four years of focused experience building high-performance APIs, microservices, and event-driven architectures that solve business problems at scale.

I have designed and optimized billing, metering, ingestion, and asynchronous processing systems, improving throughput and reducing latency using technologies like gRPC, Kafka, ClickHouse, and PostgreSQL. I regularly collaborate with Product and Business teams to align technical solutions to customer value and lead engineering initiatives that improve performance, reliability, and developer experience.

I prioritize software quality through unit, integration, contract, and end-to-end testing, and I bring strong database architecture, cloud deployment, and CI/CD experience to reliably deliver production systems.
